| EAST MAUI. June 10Th.
| Hamakuapoko and Paia mills are still
! grinding, and the prospect 1s a very good
crop at both places.
Three schooners sailed for your city last
week loaded with sugar from the above
named mills.
1t is refreshing to be able to say that the
roads from the foot of the mountain
through to Wa1hee are in excellent order
the frailest carriage may be driven any
where, and the same may be truthfully
SAID for the roads in the district of Maka-
wac.
notice that quite a commodious Roman
Catholic church is being erected makai of
the Government road midway between
Paia and the road turning up to the Ha-
makuapoko mill The cost is estimated at
about So, 800, about half of which amount
has been already subscribed 1t has been
built to meet the wants of the large num-
Der of Portuguese who are employed on
these two plantation.
Father James has shown himself true
practical missionary, in that he with the
assistance of one man has almost COM
pleted the work of erecting the Catholic
church at Kuau.~
We have had the usual hot weather here
the past week, tempered by moderate trade
winds.
The Board of Health have the thanks of
the people of Kahului IN the abatement of
nuisances recently existing there, and Mr.
G. G. Williams was Eonly too ready to act
in aiding the abatement by filling in some
stagnant pools that were on lands belong
ing to the Hawaiian Commercial and
Sugar Company.
A very pleasant gathering took place at
Paia last Saturday evening, at the Skat-
ing Rink. The object was to raise money
towards the debt on the new Roman Cath
Ollie church now being erected. The pro-
gramme was varied and most interesting.
Messrs. Wilder 81 Co. had placed the train
at the disposal of the Catholic clergy, and
about p. m. it arrived here with about
one hundred people from Waikapu, Wal
Iuku and Waihee, the Catholic band &C
companying. The exercises opened by the
band. followed by some sweet vocal and in
strumental music in Hawaiian and then
by dissolving views, some most comical
and side-splitting, others of a classic ma |
ture. bringing before the audience, in |
very realistic manner, old Rome. From |
there we were taken to other parts of |
Sunny Italy, and Venice in all its romantic |
dreamy beauty burst upon US, recalling |
many historic as well as recent pleasing |
associations. Following this We're some !
amusing Irish comic characters, person |
ated by DR.. Bull and others, which Gre
ated roars of laughter, DR.. Bull then |
sang a comic song, which was equally APP |
preciated. At intervals ice cream and |
cake were handed around, and at the con-
clusion the remainder of the sweets were
auctioned off, as also many pretty things
that had been made up by several ladies
in church work. Among many
who assisted in providing cakes and other
good things, including fancy work, for this
laudable purpose, were Mrs. Mossman of
Wailuku. Mrs. Dr. Bull of MakawaO, and
Mrs. and the Misses Crooks of Paia. The
affair terminated about 11:30 p. m, the
train returning about midnight. About
$3.50 was realized.
The appointment of DR.. Bull as Govern
ment physician for the district of Maka-
wac gives general satisfaction. He Is
as resident and liked as pro-
fessional man. AMoRE,
